Stinks relative to what? Before feminism, women with degrees felt trapped in housewife roles, and after the children had moved out were relegated to little more than alcoholism and pill popping.
For their part, men were expected to kill themselves working to support their wife and kids, their lives defined by their jobs. If they lost their job and couldn’t get another, they were seen as less than zero.
All feminism really accomplished was to force both women and men to reexamine who they were and what they were doing. Today, practically speaking it doesn’t amount to a hill of beans.
I don’t think you have been paying attention.
The result of Feminism is the emasculation of men.
The Soy boys, the pajama boys the young me living in their parents basement, that women out number men in our colleges, the ascendance of Communism in our colleges, that Feelings and Emotion trump reason and logic are all the result of the triumph of Feminism in Western Society.
I can also see the Gay revolution as having its foundation laid down by the Feminist revolution.
